There is nothing better calculated

the outside world what country
really can do than a we'll conducted
horticultural and live stock fair. We
have the country. We have the
broad and fertile fields yet untitled.
We have as genial a cline as the
world can offer, and can have as Enc
stock as any in the world, and all
we need is to make knowa to the
outside world the fact, that the
prairies Of Southwest Louisiana are
as coed, as salabrious and as delight
fui a stopping place as they really
are, and Vcrni!ion parish may yet
be q second edition Of the Garden

in spite of all the adverse criticisms
Of the chronic Croakers-ot which
every country has an abundance
and when the road comes We may
look for an opening up Of the parish
in many ways. The world is even
nowo on a move, immigrants are flock
ing daily TO our general country.
Many from the Nerth aud West are
seeking homes iii acre southern

display an energy commensurate
with the demands Of the situation
there will soon be a mighty awaken

The Time Not e

Some New York papers are
strongly in favor of a Southern man
for second place on the next Demo.
Presidential ticket. We have
our doubts about the sincerity Of this
policy Or the part of our Northern
friends. Tie Chronicle would like
to see a Southern man thus elevated
and this paper would lend all of
its energiesin this direction, did We
think the time propitious for such a
move. But the South can wait a
while longer. We cannot afford to
sacrifice one of our leaders just now.
We can gain nothing by haste. The
South has exercised patience and has
bided her time. She can afford to
wait awhile longer. We have no
objection to any Southern man
named for the position. Either one
,weuld give Us extreme pleasure to
see elected. But can the Democra'
tic party do it, is tie question. The
time has hardly come for this step.

King Rule.

Ring rale does not always signify
the basest of rascality. 1t sometimes
means a sort Of close corporation,
which holds in a tight grip the party
machinery and is guilty Of gross
favoritism in the disposition Of the
Offices. excluding all who are not in
aMliation with the ring. Such a
ring becomes offensive to the people,
even If meme Of its members actually
steal anything.
The above is an extract from the
New Orleans Picoyune Of date April
9Th. When it FIRST appeared it struck
the MERzDIoNAs as a very true say
ing and appropriate to eur times,
and to our own State of Louisiana,
SO We laid it aside to be used as a
text for future. comment. We have
felt too long the crushing effects Of
ring rule, and hope the day will soon
come when the independent yeoman'
~ OF Louisiana will rally around
that gallant old soldier, General f.
Z. Nichols, and give him such a
rousing victory that all the startled
ringsters will be forced to seek their
hiding places in shame.

Influence of the Newspaper.

A school.teacher, who has been
engaged a long time in his profess
sion, and witnessed the influence
of the newspaper on the minds OF
a family OF children, writes as :ol'
lows. II have found it to be a
universal fact, without exception,
that those scholars of both sexes,
and Of all ages, who have access
to newspapers at'ifome, when com
pared with those who have not,
are better readers, excelling IL
punctuation, and consequently read
more understandingly. They are
better spoilers, and define words
with ease and accuracy. They OBJ
tain a practical knowledge OF gcog'
raphy in almost half the time it
requires others, as the newspapers
has made them familiar with the
location Of the most important
places, nations and their govern
ments and doings on the globe
They are better grammarians; for
having become so>familiar with every
variety ic the newspaper, from the
commonplace advertisement to the
finished and classical GRAFTON of the
statesman. they more readily com
prehend the meaning Of the text
and consequently analy1e its con
struction with accuracy"

The National Convention"

The National Convention" of
the Anarchists is to be held within
a short time in either Chicago or
Kansas City. They expect to unite
all their different associations at
this convention, ard afterward
TO take an active part, as an organi-
cation, in political contests. The
police should prevent the meeting
from being held, and the best thing
that could happen would be the
sentencing of some ofthese Anarchist
ringleadefs to the chain.gang for a
term Of years. We have little
sympathy down here for any Of these
Socialists, and would be glad to see
them wiped out-especially as a
political factor.-AtlaDA Dixie.

local, but they don't like to be
constantly called upon to make
publications which can only be
gratifying to personal vanity. In
matters of this kind the poor psin'
tiers should be paid"
The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1887-06-11

No paper caa be Published with,
out heme patronage, and every nan
in the community is interested in
keeping up a paper. If a railroad
Or factory is wanted the newspapers
are expected to work for it. If a
public meeting is wanted for any
purpose, the newspaper is called gu
for q free notice. If the churches or
charitable societies have a supper OR
entertainment of any kind, the
newspaper is expected to give all
the necessary notices and then
puff it after it is over. The news
papers must paE up the schools and
do everything else to advance the
interests of the busisess men of the
place, and then give them q hand
come notice VIXEN they 60 to heaven,
and yet they do nothing to keep up
the paper.-Brsndon Republican,.
